ALS signed “S. A. Douglas,” one page, 7.75 x 9.5, July 21, 1856. Letter to Secretary of War Jefferson Davis. In part: “My constituent Mr. Schroeder who has a very curious gun which I submit to your inspection. I ask of you the favor to see him and examine the gun…Although I am not a good judge of such implements I confess that this weapon seems to me to possess great merit. I should be glad if you will cause it to be tried and tested.” In very good condition, with an engraving and small portrait affixed to integral second page, intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, a few brushes to text, scattered light toning, and some mirroring of ink along top.
